Club member Michael Whitley of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was looking for a cleaner way to stain wooden buttons for woodworking projects. To prevent staining his hands, he applies double-sided carpet tape to a scrap board, peels off the paper tape backing and sticks wooden buttons onto the exposed tacky surface. The tape holds the pieces firmly while he applies stain, and he can reuse the same strip several times. Once the tape becomes clogged with stain, he just applies a new tape strip over it.
